Dear Heavenly Father,
I come before You today with an open heart, seeking Your divine guidance and grace. Lord, Your Word tells us that “The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside quiet waters, He restores my soul” (Psalm 23:1-3). With a heart full of faith, I ask that You lead me with Your gentle hand, guiding every step I take in the journey of leadership and influence.
Father, I recognize that leadership is both a privilege and a responsibility. I pray for Your wisdom, as Solomon did, when he said, “Give your servant a discerning heart to govern your people and to distinguish between right and wrong” (1 Kings 3:9). I seek Your heavenly wisdom to make decisions that reflect Your goodness and righteousness. Let my words be seasoned with grace, my actions be guided by compassion, and my thoughts be anchored in integrity.
Lord Jesus, You demonstrated the ultimate example of servant leadership. As I strive to lead others, help me to embody the same humility and love You showed. I pray for a heart that rejoices in others’ successes and carries their burdens with empathy. Allow me to lead not out of pride or self-interest, but with a genuine desire to uplift and empower those around me.
Holy Spirit, dwell within me and fill me with Your comforting presence. There are moments when the weight of responsibility feels overwhelming, and the path ahead seems uncertain. In those times, remind me of Your promise in Isaiah 40:29-31: “He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak… those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” Grant me the endurance and resilience to keep moving forward with hope and faith.
Loving Father, I also pray for an open heart to receive feedback with humility and a spirit willing to grow and improve. Let me be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry, as Your word instructs in James 1:19. Surround me with wise counsel and loving support that reflect Your divine wisdom and love.
Finally, I offer my deepest gratitude for Your unfailing love and unwavering support. Thank You for magnifying my strengths and covering my weaknesses with Your grace. Thank You for the people You have placed in my life to guide, support, and challenge me. Guide us all so that we may walk in righteousness and be beacons of Your love and truth in this world.
In Your Mighty and Holy Name, I pray.
Amen.
